Biocoagulants as an Alternative for Water Treatment

Abstract:

Issues related to water quality are associated with environmental problems caused by humans and industrial growth. In view of all these problems caused by water pollution and shortages, there has been a constant concern to search for new alternatives to existing conventional methods. The coagulation process using natural coagulants is an interesting alternative for the treatment of both surface water and urban and industrial wastewater. The coagulating capacity of several materials has been evaluated, with biocoagulants of vegetable origin being the most studied. Aspects related to the application and production of biocoagulants, from Moringa oleifera, in the treatment of surface and wastewaters (urban and industrial) are analyzed. The use of mixtures of synthetic coagulants with biocoagulants as coadjuvants is reported in the literature. However, a less studied case, but of great interest, is the mixture …
